Welcome and Happy T Day!
Just for the protocol, that I also draw other things than just birds. *LOL* I got myself two very nice books about drawing flowers with fineliner and I really like them. Here's a Foxglove.

On Bluesky (and formerly on other platforms) I follow many bird and nature photographers and one of them is Aintright, who takes beautiful photos of European songbirds and many others. One of my favourites is "Cynthia the Song Thrush" (all bird species have names and I love this fact). She's an absolute beauty and I love to sketch her, although I have to admit, that her markings are really challenging to capture.
You know, that I sketch a LOT of birds (and occassionally some other animals or things). I do oit while watching tv or being on the phone, in boring meetings or while sitting on a park bench.
I mostly use a pencil for these sketches and am able to correct a wrong line. Every now and then the only pen available is a fineliner or a fountain pen. I decided I need to practice this a bit more: sketching things without the possibility to erase.
I'm a bit late to Friday Face Off, but here we go. In March I do a drawing challenge called #animalmarch and there's a prompt to paint every day.
Guinea Fowls are fun birds with beautiful coloring on their heads and gorgeous dotted feathers.
Last week a special girl turned 18 and requested by her parents I had to remake a special gift for her. I once decorated a hairbrush with a pyrography dragon and she refused to throw the old hairbrush away. But now she finally got a new one. :)
